Moroccan/French friend looking to marry an Algerian woman

Hi there,

Hopefully I can find some answers here!

Our best friend, who is Moroccan/French, wants to marry an Algerian woman. They’ve already met, and the first steps have been taken. It seems like getting married under these circumstances is really complicated—has anyone been in a similar situation and could share some advice on the administrative side or the steps to take?

Thanks!

Does he have dual nationality? Did they check with the prefecture?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, he has dual French/Moroccan nationality. Which prefecture should he go to?

Oh, they don't live in France?

Yes, he lives in France but she’s in Algeria.
